Water filters. Which one is the best? Interesting video.

[Gromett]

The ZeroWater is extremely impressive for the price.

Amazon product ASIN B0722YFFCQ
I have just ordered one based on this;

The Amazon reviews are mixed....

The Zero waters is the clear winner

Takes a lot of fridge room though. I fitted an inline filter and installed a drinking water tap in the MH which has made tank water drinkable, no issues so far, although I am a bit picky about where I fill

I filter my water through malt hops and barley

There was a huge scandal with Nature Pure recently where they were selling their top of the range filter which should be about 3 microns but supplying their cheapo nasty entry level filter that would take out a turd floating in the water if you were lucky!

Left a bad taste in many mouths!

We switched to this one after the Nature Pure debacle

3M HF10 Microbial Reduction Filter

This is a genuine 3M replacement cartridge for advanced water filtration system. It has replaced the 3M Cuno E2 Microbial Reduction filter which has been discontinued by 3M. This is for the replacement cartridge only - the head is available separately (AP3 Head required)

We did exactly the same, good filter.

Isn't it a lot less fuss just to buy cheap bottled water from Aldi or Lidl? I never use bottled water at home, being quite content with the local eau de tap, but when travelling in the van I always buy 6 2 litre bottles from a cheap supermarket for next to nothing. I only use the water in the tank for washing. I keep one bottle in the fridge to make squash, and another under the sink for tea or coffee.

Rightly or wrongly I have always assumed that water filters would not protect me in the event that there was something really nasty in the water, and if I became paranoid about it I would have to boil the water for some time to be sure.

It really depends on the the quality of the filter you fit.
The 3M Hf10 is excellent and provided you are not filling up with water from a potential unsafe source is likely to be 100% effective.

Given how abused we've seen some water fill points, and how poorly designed others are, how can you tell?

The campsite we were at a few weeks ago, the hose at the fresh water point was used to wash people's dogs. And it was hot, so they were licking the end of the hose pipe.

A site we were at in Switzerland had a €1 service point. Put the coin in and the door opened up. It wasn't clear which was the cassette tap and which was the fresh tap. And it was only about 40cm drop to the cassette drain grating. There were splash marks well beyond. We emptied, but declined to fill there.

We too buy bottled water for drinking while we're touring. We keep a bottle in the fridge so it's chilled too.

The better ones remove everything even down to Bacteria and Viruses

The sites we have been on have always had designated drinking water tap.SHMBO does prefer bottled but we always manage.
If in doubt drink beer

I would never use any existing hose, I always remove it and use my own food grade pipe and I keep clean.

I agree would not even consider filling from a suspect source. Or a source I thought was potentially contaminated.

Each to our own way of minimising risk.
